Hello, I run web2py locally, to develop a website. Whenever there is an error, I see a website that looks like this:
*Internal errorTicket issued: > *vpp2py/127.0.0.1.2012-01-23.17-14-03.ef3e7489-1e25-4aaf-e143-9b27004c4a2c<http://example.com/> I would prefer to see the traceback in the shell. Is there a way to make web2py pass error messages to std output or a file (with human-readable formatting)? I can output the application/appname/error/* files (Thanks to the nice people of #bash at irc.freenode/net !): inotifywait . -m -e CLOSE_WRITE --format '%f' | while IFS= read -r f; do cat "$f" | sed -e 's/[^\]\\n/\n/g'; done but I have a bad feeling about this, especially because of strings like '\r' turning into '\\r' and '\n' being used in the file instead of proper(?) newlines. Here's an example of what the 3-rd last line of a log file looks like: S'Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/home/qubodup/web/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 191, in restricted\n ccode = compile2(code,layer)\n File "/home/qubodup/web/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 178, in compile2\n return compile(code.rstrip().replace(\'\\r\\n\',\'\\n\')+\'\\n\', layer, \'exec\')\n File "/home/qubodup/web/web2py/applications/vpp2py/models/db.py", line 38\n plugins = PluginManager()x # for configuring plugins\n ^\nSyntaxError: invalid syntax\n' Thanks for reading. If nobody knows a better solution, hopefully the inotifywait line will come in handy to somebody else. :)
